And when Billy was old enough to 
 G
take a wife, he was
F                           G    
old enough to fight for his 
                  C   Am
country and its way of life.

BRIDGE:

Sues' letters came every 
        A
day..strengthened his cause,
     Em                     F
they showed him the way, to fight 
for his country and
    C              G      
the girl he loved..that's a 
                 Am   Bm
soldier's only pay.

But then Billy heard no more from 
            D
Sue, he was worried
          Bm
sick, but what could he do?
    D                           
The bullets were screaming as he 
 A
hugged the ground,
         G     A             
and back home..Sue was runnin' 
  D     Bm
round.

D                 Bm         
Billy was gettin' less and less 
               D
strong, his hope, his fate,
    Bm
was almost gone.
    D                     A    
And then like a miracle a letter 
                  G
appeared..Billy tore the
                   A          D    
letter open and he read, Dear John.
Bm

  D                               
A look came over Billy that would 
Bm               D
scare a ghost..a familiar
                      Bm
look seen on soldiers coast to 
coast.
    D                       A     
And even though the air was filled
                  G
 with lead, Billy jumped
    A             D    Bm
up..they shot him dead.

D                     Bm    
Billy was buried in a far away 
                   D
grave, it read, for his country,
    Bm
his life he gave.
         D           A     
But that epitaph was only in 
                  G
part..he didn't die from a bullet,
       A                   D     Bm
but he died, from a broken heart.
